The great bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel brings his
acclaimed portrayal of the doomed title sea captain to
cinemas for the first time on March 14. Valery Gergiev
conducts a new production by François Girard, whose
visionary 2013 take on Parsifal set the recent Met
standard for Wagner stagings. With sweeping sets by
John Macfarlane, Girard’s new production turns the Met
stage into a rich, layered tableau reminiscent of a vast oil
painting. The gifted German soprano Anja Kampe, in her
Met debut run, is the devoted Senta, whose selfless love
is what the Dutchman seeks, with bass Franz-Josef Selig
as her father, Daland, and tenor Sergey Skorokhodov as
her deserted former lover, Erik.
